Ten years ago…
A young girl and her mother frantically race through the remote mountain wilderness in the rural near Tokyo...it was winter and most of the major roads were frozen over from a blizzard that had struck the area three days ago-the little girl fearfully peered over her shoulder to make sure that they had lost the group of people pursuing them.
"Don't look back Kaiya!" The mother says before using her body as a shield to protect her daughter from the sudden explosion-the sere force of the blast being strong enough to separate the the two with Kaiya managing to use her quirk to cushion fall somewhat.
Kaiya lands slightly scraping her knees and arms as she briefly skirted slightly along the ground;the groaned softly with her eyes closed and a very sore feeling spread throughout her entire body.
"Dammit idiot what were thinking detonating an explosion that close to the child!?"a monstrous looking man said to one of his companions…thin looking young man with spikey flaming red and yellow hair wearing a black punk rocker looking leather and torn dark blue jeans."whoops…heh heh my bad!"the spikey haired youth said awkwardly.
The monster looking man glares his younger associate coldly."…let's just pray that the child is not harmed!" He says with an almost threatening tone of voice.
The two villains slowly approached the now unconscious girl with a slightly air dread.
The spikey haired youth gulped nervously,"yeah…I wouldn't I to be the one to have tell the boss that his kid got blown up!"he says with his face half turning pale with fear,Kaiya was now slowly regaining consciousness-the snow haired child knowing just who these and why they were after her.
Kaiya weakly turned her head to look for her mother-spying her laying motionless underneath a the shadow of a nearby tree-her face half shrouded in darkness…the little girl feeling tears begin glisten down her face…Kaiya not fully understanding but seeing something?
It was a deep shade of red and liquidly appeared to be leaking from a small gash in her mother's abdomen-Kaiya's eyes wide open joltily.
"Mama?!?"Kaiya called disparately as she began to fresh tears freely flow down the edges of her face-the girl begins to sluggishly crawls over to her mother-who disturbingly still not moving-the grass surrounding her staining crimson with the woman's own blood."oh I wouldn't worry too much about her!"The hazy red and black blur from said as it abruptly halted-revealing a thin and spiky orange haired young woman wearing a punk-biker styled leather jacket that barely covered a dark shaded gray tank top.
"K-Kaiya"the girl's mother violently coughed out through small spurts of blood.
"M-mama?"Kaiya screamed horrified as the shifting moonlight revealed just how badly injured her mother was;her skin had already turned an unhealthy pale as the woman began suffering from more and more rapid blood loss."k-Kaiya please listen…y-you have to hurry and get away from here!" The woman briefly told her daughter before abruptly spurting more blood in a violent coughing fit.
"Damn…sorry kid-"the female villain says half heartedly not truly regretful of her actions as she merely shrugged lightly with a neutral air of indifference before suddenly feeling an unidentifiable force abruptly send her flying."…not as sorry as you gonna be missy!"a short and elderly looking man dressed in a full body monochrome suit that had giant capital 'G' shaped belt buckle-the moonlight gleams off the belt-buckle as he quickly zipped about the surrounding area alongside the much younger speedster, who was absolute stunned to see the much much older man keep constant pace with her.
The two matched other move for move-Kaiya just barely managing to keep track of fight…but perhaps the girl should have taken better to more throughly examine her surroundings as the roots of a nearby tree suddenly burst from the ground like sharp and jagged spikes.
"What the—"the elderly pro hero says before swiftly and effectively being subdued by the tendril like roots.
"My my now this is a treat-"a thin…and slightly plant like looking man says emerging from the shadows with a dark gray haired wolf man.
"No!"Kaiya cried standing frozen firmly in place were was-the little girl now shaking as much from fear as much as from the cold night air;the orange haired villainess quickly zipped right in front of Kaiya just as the young girl had finally found the courage to move."Tsk tsk" the female villain taunted as she slowly wiggled her pointer finger teasingly."…sorry kid but the boss has been looking for you-"the villainess said with her boastful smirk quickly fading into an almost fearful scowl."…and believe me kid…he's not the type guy you want to mess with!" Kaiya quickly moves to turn and run the other way just as the villainess reaches out for the child with a blurry hand-however before the villainess could grab the child.
There is an audible wooshing sounding and Kaiya mysteriously seems to vanish before the young woman's eyes."what the hell?!?"she says stunned by the young girl's sudden disappearance before her very eyes.
The wolf man like villain abruptly shrinks back timidly whimpering frightened."what's wrong with the hairball!"the young speedster's question is answered immediately as she turns her head-seeing non other the number one hero,all might standing a few feet away from her and her comrades-the petite frame of the child gently nestled in his arms.
"A-all might!"the little girl said stunned as fresh tears quickly began to stream down the soft-reddish pink cushions of her face as the painfully fresh memory of her mother laying motionless in a pool of her own blood instantly comes forth.
All might turns his head in the direction of the tree where the still fresh corpse of Kaiya's mother-all might frowns disappointingly."I-I see…I am sorry for your loss!"all might says as gently settles the young child back onto her feet."…please keep a safe distance!"
"Y-yes sir!"the girl says racing clear of the impending fight.
All might rises back to his full-imposing stature with a ferocious grin of determination."…now where were we?"he asks sarcastically before seemingly vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Oh hell…we're definitely in over our heads now!"the wolf man says panickedly before being swiftly taken down with one light judo chop to the back of the neck before vanishing once more.
"No way?!?"the plant based villain Says stunned
"Relax man…we still have our 'hostage''!"the speedster says
"Okay now mister no.1 hero…we wouldn't want anything bad to happen to the old timer here!"
The villains dangled the restrained veteran hero.
"Gran Torino!?"all might before swiftly moving to free his old mentor-the pro hero having next to difficulty with dispersing the roots.
"…are you alright?"alll might asks concerned
"I'll live…now let's finish this!"Gran Torino says briefly cracking his neck.
"Right!!"
The two heroes make very short work of the young would be villains.
Soon enough…
Kaiya sits alone on the back of an ambulance-a thermal blanket draped over her shoulders and a steamy cup of herbal tea.
Kaiya lightly blow on the tea before taking a long sip.
"Shigaraki Kaiya!!"All might says making an over dramatized entrance-his trademarked grin giving off an air security and safeness that Kaiya needed oh so disparately right now."all might?"the girl says genuinely surprised to see all might was still here long after Gran Torino had left long ago.
"Yes…I just came to inform you that from you will be staying with me for the for see able future!"all might says boisterously.
Kaiya almo chokes on a swollow of tea-her head shaking as believed she most of heard the pro hero incorrectly."I know I know it's a shock…but the police say no available next of kind that are able to take you in…I have decided to take on that responsibility personally!"
For a moment the air turned deathly silent-Kaiya's hands trembled and a blubbery whimper escapes from in between her lips,Kaiya was touched…genuinely and deeply touched-her whole life…every waking moment…she thought that the whole world shun her…hate her…because-because of her quirk…because of who her father was-but no!
Instead here was the number one of all Japan and possibly the entire world-offering her a home and maybe a new family.
Tears quickly begin flowing freely down corners of her face as she abruptly wrapped her small arms.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
was all the little girl could say as she held the pro hero's waist lightly squeezing it.
Ten years later…
Kaiya was halfway down making a sandwich when her father abruptly entered the living room of their small two bedroom apartment."I…am…home!!"he dramatically with his usual air enthusiasm.
"Yeah I can see that!"Kaiya laughed
All might lightly smack his own forehead cursing."…what's wrong dad?"Kaiya asked with halfway smirk on her face.
"I forgot to pick up spare groceries on the way home ?" All might said again smack his forehead before steam begins to bellow from his body.
"Cr-uud!"all might says just before quickly reverting to his skeletal base form.
Blood violently spurts from in between his lips as the no.1 hero leans slightly against the wooden frame of the doorway.
"…It's ok dad really…I'll ju get whatever after work today!"Kaiya says with a worrried smile.
'It's getting worse!'the girl silently thought to herself-the girl faintly shook her head grimly."…did you find someone for-for you know!"
All might nods compliantly.
"…what is their name?"Kaiya asked
All might smiles solemnly,"his name is Modoriya Izuku!"
